The engineers from the Gi Joe have made fews project for VTOL Vehicles. Everything have star from the same concept: A tandem helicopter or VTOL. This projects involved the development of a new aircraft. The objective was to create a highly flexible airborne weapons platform that was proficient in both air-to-air as well as air-to-surface combat. During the design phase, the Skunkwork Designers and Engineers also decided to incorporate certain value added features to the airframe design, making the vehicle well suited as a dropship. All offices in charge have done one model. One is a Dropship Know as Dragonhawk, one is a Bomber/rescue support helicopter: the Retaliator, the Axe Hammer is able to destroy everything on the battlefiel and the last one is a small Attack helicopter: the R.E.A.H. (Radar Evade Attack Helicopter).
The Weapons system include: 25 MM chain gun, 40 mm automatic grenade launcher, 6 Missils launchers (3 per wing). The crews are 2, 1 pilot and 1 gunner. This Stealth Helicopter is able to cross enemies lines without been detect and can fly very low due to last gen on board navigation system. I like the R.H.I.N.O. helicopter but i am really not fan of the landing gear and if you add the missil launcher it s ridiculous. So i have add a Dragonfly landing gear, put a bigger and longer tube for the chain gun, add some details on the cockpit and some lights in and outside.

Thank you, for the blade i don't have others and as this one can reply it make me think to the Venom Leader vehicle that can convert to a jet.Here is a picture with the lights on:

I like the idea but the landing skids does not feel right, feels too low tech compared to the rest of the chopper. Have you thought about using the skids from the POC Skyhawk, those look more updated and fits with the design of this chopper.
Otherwise, lover the paint scheme and detail work.
